Now let's tie all of this in with the fourth chapter of Ephesians. The Apostle Paul's attitude as he wrote this letter to the Ephesians was that of a "prisoner of Jesus Christ." The Apostle was a bond servant of the Lord. It wasn't that Jesus had taken him prisoner. Paul voluntarily gave himself to the Lord as His servant.

Notice Paul's statement in Ephesians 4:1: "I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called." Paul had abandoned himself to Jesus and he admonishes us to do the same. When you are born again, you become a child of God, not a servant. The only way you can become a prisoner, or servant, of the Lord is to volunteer.

Once we take on the Apostle Paul's attitude, that we are living totally for Jesus and for His Body, we will be in a right relationship with God.

What happens then? The fruits of our righteousness will increase and that will cause revival. And then we can expect the gifts of the Spirit to operate in a far greater measure. Why?

Manifestations of the Holy Spirit are called "gifts."

Gifts are part of giving and receiving. They are part of the fruits of righteousness. Living totally for Jesus and His Body, or living to give, helps bring us to the place where He can trust us with power, whether it's in His gifts or in the form of handling His money.
